#Reaction #goodwillhunting #Diegesis - Zábava
When Robin Williams first read the script for Good Will Hunting. He asked the director Gus Van Sant "Who wrote this?". Gus told him "These two kids from Boston, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon". Robin replied "No seriously who wrote this?" Gus again said "Seriously they really wrote this script". Robin was floored when he learned these two kids wrote a script with such depth that only a person with life experience would be able to know. A truly impressive and masterful story is why so many of us love great films.
I love how Ben Afleck's character knew when to shut up when Skylar started asking about Will's brothers. He was ragging on Will's crappy house, yet he instantly knew when to shut up, because he knew there was something bigger behind the lie that Will gave Skylar about having and living with 12 brothers. That's what a real best friend does.
From the time Robin says "Look at me son. It's not your fault." He refers to Will as son. Many of us men had a father like Sean's. It hits very hard. Thanks for the reaction
You can also see their relationship evolving when Robin stops telling him chief and starts telling him Will.
@@mirkoyossen31 SO true. I love the nuances of their relationship. It's just a great movie.
The pain that Will went through never magically goes away. The best you can hope for is to recognize your issues and understand how best to handle them. Like any disease it is a daily struggle to keep your demons in check. As time goes on you can diminish them. Only if you able to stay strong in mind and spirit.
Lucky you
I think you meant that's the first time he refers to him as son? Otherwise your sentence just sounds repetitive and not really making the point fully.
Fun Fact: The entire "Wife farting in her sleep" anecdote was unscripted and improved by Williams; if you look closely you can see the camera shaking towards the end because even the camerapeople were laughing out loud because of the story.
cool insight. Thanks!
first time i saw that "it's not your fault" scene i broke down in front of my friends like i never have before. It was so liberating and freeing- this is what art is about.
Same. That scene got me crying again this time too. Nothin wrong with it :')
Art is subjective...not objective...it made me laugh at that point
there's a reason this movie did well at the academy awards 🙂
@@how2comedy470 the same, I thought it was pretty weak to be honest…
No not art…but your testimony about your life. Beautiful.
"I'm gonna wake up tomorrow and I'll be 50"
one of the single greatest lines ever spoken in a movie.
I was 24 when this came out. I had my whole life in front of me. I’ll be 49 on Sunday. I’m mostly miserable and realize more and more every day that I’ll never retire and will drop dead at work one day when I’m an old man. I relate to this line because it’s my life.
@@bknsty14 I'll be 50 in November. I had a heart attack in April I blame my shitty career for.
i will be enrolling in a trade skill program for adults at my local tech training center that starts in January. the career i spent 65 thousand dollars at a four year university to get has not served me well at all. the stress of daily deadlines and just general newsroom anarchy put me in the hospital with a god damn heart attack before i was 50. so I'm going to learn CNC Machining, since i have a little background in CAD design.
hopefully i can make enough in the next 10-15 years to retire, if i invest wisely.
@@TheRedStateBlue Smart move. Learning a trade is something I keep talking about. I work in construction, but for a GC so I don’t have an actual talent. I keep telling my friends with kids to get their kids in a trade school for plumbing or electrical. There is a real shortage, and those are really good jobs. Hope it works out for you.
@@bknsty14 Never to late to change, find something you love and do it relentlessly.
@@TheRedStateBlue I'm in CNC machining myself, and if I may, there's plenty of stress in this industry as well. I certainly encourage you to go and find a career you're more interested in and will be happy in, but I would also recommend you find some ways to manage stress on your end. There's many a day I feel like I'm going to drop dead at my job as well, you're not alone in that
That pivotal 'Not your fault' scene, right before it Matt sees Robin yelling, fighting to defend him from Skarsgard the math professor. One of the few times in his life he saw someone do that for non selfish reasons, he didn't even know it was observed. It helped him develop that last bit of trust to break down in front of him. Brilliant writing
That’s a wicked good point, I never took that into consideration. There’s a lot of moments like that in this film, like when Chuckie is busting Will’s balls and Chuckie knows when to stop talking cos he realized Will was lying and doesn’t wanna dry snitch on him
It's extremely impressive what Matt and Ben accomplished with this film. People talk crap about those two, especially Ben, but holy fkkkkk, look what they created in their mid- 20's when they were still relatively new to acting! And Robin Williams...wow.
Robin, although known for his comedy, was extremely versatile. From comedy to drama to thrillers, that man could do it all.
@@MegaForrestgump Some actors die and it hits me pretty hard, Bill Paxton, John Candy, Robin Williams, John Ritter, Patrick Swayze, Farley and Hartman..they had such good energy and presence. Have you seen the clip of Robin and Jim Varney? Amazing. He was the one guy who I think had that Robin Williams special-ness.
I'm mostly impressed by Matt Damon.
@@andreas956 He's talking about the writing. Matt and Ben wrote it together.
The speech Ben gave to Matt about “the best part of his day “ was what a REAL/TRUE friend should do !!! I love this movie
I know there are a lot of good performances in this movie, but I don't think Minnie gets enough credit.
I had seen her in other things before like 'Circle of Friends', but I really fell in love with her in this and Grosse Pointe Blank. (And much later her episode of Who Do You Think You Are?) Her witty dialogue delivery is on point.
I love her laugh at 12:56 so nerdy, so authentic.
I have liked or loved every performance I have seen from her, from singing in "Beautiful" to the weird Karen's antagonist in "Will and Grace", serious, comedic or musical she is always likeable and on point.
You say that, and then you see how many people actually do give her credit. It's just that she plays the MCs LI so she is always a second class character. The main focus is truly on Will and Sean and their journeys. More so Will, but you know. She was a story telling device for his transformation. I don't think anyone doesn't give her credit. They just don't talk about it until it's mentioned because it's not as relevant.
Of course, she did great
Facts. I think she's so amazing in this, but everyone kills it.
The sudden face of realization that she makes when Will says he had cigarettes put out on him ALWAYS gets me. Such a small detail that does so much
Affleck and Damon wrote the first draft whilst they were in college, absolutely brilliant
Boston. They're in Boston, where Harvard and MIT are located ( well, in nearby Cambridge, Mass.). The accent is famous. It is as far from a New York accent as a Jamaican accent is from a Scottish one.
Ah, me kilt be irie, pass da haggis mon fore I glass ya bombaclot chin.
Right!! instantly had a queasy feeling in my gut when she said that.. 😆
"It is as far from a New York accent as a Jamaican accent is from a Scottish one." lol no need to exaggerate. The accents in the NE US all have a lot of similarities.
@@winstonmarlowe5254 Beat me to this comment. Boston and NY are distinct, but related.
@Maxwell Long I think if you grew up in NY or Boston it's a lot easier to discern for sure. Both drop their r's in a lot of situations and end their -ing words with -in. I personally can't describe it but I'm from New York, and although I don't have the typical New York accent like you'd see in a movie like Taxi Driver or something, it's really easy for me to identify the accent and identify Boston accents. I think people saying things like this would not be able to discern the difference between a London accent and a Northern English accent. Or Aussie and Kiwi. You are right, they are not too far off, and unless someone has a particularly good ear for accents or is from around here, it's really not a big deal that people confuse the two.
"My boy's wicked smaht." is my favorite line in any movie ever.
🤷🏼♂️ You stepped on the "How do you like them apples" line!?!?
🤦♂️😆
She missed the "how do you like them apples" bit :(
Tim Apple?! *The* one?! Holy shit!
She’s kinda annoying
I noticed that too! One of my favourite lines in a movie.
I cried more watching this than the damn movie
That accent is straight up South Boston!! No "New York" in that "Hahvad".
This movie never gets old to me. It also never fails to get me in the feels. I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone that keep it emotionally together when watching this. If you ever meet someone who isn’t effected by this film, then I would run because they are probably a sociopath lol. Silver Linings Playbook is another one that gets me.
Probably watch this film once every few months...great film...great acting...great dialogue..great writing..very uplifting... something about this movie that just makes you feel better about the world and people
Definitely gets into my top 10
Most of us who watched this movie, we cried when Robin passed away. So that's why "it's not your fault" scene is so meaningful to us.
Robin Williams won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for this and Will (Matt Damon) and his friend (Ben Affleck) won the Best Screenplay Oscar for writing this.
@32:10 “I’m unwell … yet again” while Will rides the train home after his big breakthrough … THERE’S your Tumblr mood!😂
As a New Yorker, please never mistake a Boston accent with a New York accent.
As a Bostonian, how the fahk does she not know the difference
I never leave my home I’m sorry 🥺
this is gonna be ohio all over again lol
@@Diegesis for real 🥴
as a Bostonian i can 110% agree to that, i feel guilty sometimes over the fact that the Boston accent is so perfect meanwhile everyone in New York is stuck with their horrible speech impediment, i wish there was a cure for you guys. its sad. kek
Every time I see this movie it makes me miss Robin Williams so bad.
Without a doubt one of the most powerful scene in cinema history,and Matt Damon was just sublime
What I loved in the very last scene in the movie when Sean reads the note from Will....probably the ONLY time Will has ever plagiarized anything he has ever read in his life.....Gotta see about a girl is incredibly simplistic and packed with emotion that the professor would not understand but Sean would totally get!!!......well played guys....and Loved your reaction ❤️ 💙 ♥️
“Mr. Professor math magician” 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
They're From 'Boston'...
I think a really underrated moment is the perfect deer-in-headlights look Will gives Sean when asked point-blank: "what do you want to do?" It so perfectly captured the scared shitless boy Will was trying to break free from. That look Matt Damon gives instantly takes me back to the times I simply did not have an answer, flippant or sincere, to give someone.
I'm so stoked you put this up. This movie hit me hard In 2008 for personal reasons but thank you
At the end, when the credits roll, they play AFTERNOON DELIGHT.......LIKE when he was faking being hypnotized.
100.000. Congratulations 😊. Seen you first because of LotR and i enjoyed it so much. So from time to time watching your reactions, and good will hunting is definitely one of my favourites. Also dead poets society with Robin Williams. He was such an amazing actor.
I revisit this movie reaction from time to time. It seems each time I find new aspects of this film that just makes me love it even more and it’s all about that script. This time I’m seeing the evolution to enlightenment and how what Robin Williams did was different from what I would jokingly call the other 5 psychos. There definitely was a correlation between the environment that they both grew up in. And Robin did something here. He let Will guide him through the first meeting. Will seemed to just keep changing subjects till he discovered his sore spot. Then he went hard after him. To his surprise Robin reacted in a way that Will was all to familiar to him. He saw himself in that scenario so he respected that response. Robin was a worthy opponent as compared to the others whose methods were less than satisfactory. The second meeting after much thought deep in the night Robin layed out for him that book smarts isn’t the same as experiencing life and learning on the go. Sometimes those lessons come at a heavy price. So now it’s Will who is out of his element and Robin who has the answers. Robin had the key as fiends who had his back in good times as well as bad. And the beautiful Skyler who put her heart on the line for him. Notice how all three of them challenged him at the end of the day. And Robin at the river making his statement, acknowledging his pain and putting the ball back in his court.
I’m sorry. This movie is too frickn good.
Why DID choose to work at MIT, solve problems only a couple people in the world could solve, and then lie about it...? Just to prove to himself, if nothing else, that all these f***in' Hahvawd people were nothing compared to a janitor...?
“He’s the one who solved your math problem, you butthole”. Super underrated exclamation! Subscribed
He is in a lot of pain. Sometimes we can still taste the acid life has left on our tongue. Great reaction!!! Thanks!!!
Hi, thanks for keeping the best parts of the movie in your reaction. This is one of my fav movies.
i adore your reaction. you're funny, sweet, emotional and silly
Williams is so great. One of my fav shows. "Your move chief"
I remember trying to watch this with my father and him leaving the room because he had realized how much he fucked up my siblings and I. I sobbed like a child wishing for someone to tell me it wasn't my fault.
Boston born & bred and you did not just ask if that was a New York accent 😐
I remember the first time I saw this film, thanks for sharing yours. I still cry every time though, such a incredibly wonderful film
Thank you for sharing this movie. Everyone should see it. Maple, you kook great.
Maple was low key feeling Will’s vibe the whole time 😂
This was a great video/rewatch , watched it when it first came out and now that I’m older the perspective made me realize how great it is. Teared up at the same scenes you did and Damn do I miss Robin Williams.
Stepped all over the apples line
that happens when you don't know a line is coming up
A person not staring into their phone is now called "a vibe"?
They're in Boston. "What accent is that? New York?" 😐🙄🙄🙄🙄
Cry about it
"I just want someone to LOVE ME" lol we all do
And me, I just want someone I could love again...
Hello neighbor a good reaction video is the one when the viewer is expressing the same emotion as the reactor is feeling. Not only have u done that with me but I imagine with at least 86.7 of the subs you have right now. I love this ride ty for letting us in keep up the work Today u made a grown man cry laugh and feel the mood ty.
Chef's kiss - I like your reaction. Well done.
Thank you for taking all this time to review one of my favorites while being so genuine. Might sound weird coming from an ex-military guy who has a dangerous job, but connecting with you emotionally has truly been important. Don’t let this comment fade away in the idea that I’m looking for anything more. Great people like you help ground me in feelings I’m denied by nature. Thank you so much.
Some of the best dialogue life lessons in this movie. It would behove one to watch this every year so one doesn’t let the wisdom fade away.
You dont know where Harvard is?
One of the greatest most emotional scene I cinema history
I love these old-school Maple reactions.. ..shes honed her craft since this, but her sense of humour has always shown through.. ever though she doesnt know how to pronounce "literally".. 😉
Edit: also, Chad.. haven't quite perfected your craft yet eh? ..yea yea, I'm teasing, it's just interesting to see how far you've come as an editor.. you're definitely my favorite reaction channel, tis why I'm going through your back catalog.. im proud of both of you.. and Arianna of course too..
yeah it's been a long journey of figuring it out as we go
to be fair, dude was tearing douchenozzle apart with book talk - maple was trying to find some variation of the word "literary" rather than "literal", which is commonly misused for non-literal situations nowadays. she could've said "he was torn apart in a literary way" if she wanted to be grammatically correct. but since english is very flexible, and people get flexible with rules when talking informally, making up the word "literarily" is fine, since she's just being silly.
Another teary movie is Philomena. It's about the Catholic Church in Ireland adopting out the children of teenage girls! Judi Dench, the main character, plays a great role!
Maple is way too gorgeous and WAY too sweet to ever be feeling at odds and at a loss as she confesses she is in this one : ( She deserves the world
Good reaction video. I felt like watching a good movie with a friend! 🙂
Love watching your videos :)
One of my all time favourites.
The 'It's not your fault' scene gets me every time.
2:08 To answer your question, that's a Boston accent. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are laying it on thick for the film. Its a more common accent with people who live in the Southie part of Boston or poorer parts of the city.
Love the emotions. Beautiful.
This movie made me fall in love with Minnie Driver. For more see Grosse Pointe Blank (LOTS OF LOOOVE + funny).
One of the best scenes in this movie is where Will and Chucky are speaking in the construction yard. Behind Chucky is a solid building. Behind Will is a shell of a demolished building. Great symbolism.
Robin Williams deserved his Oscar for this role, as did Ben Affleck and Matt Damon for the script itself
The scene in therapy in which Robin Williams’ character reminisces about his wife farting in her sleep: that bit was completely improvised.
You can even see Matt Damon looking at the crew behind the camera because it wasn’t in the script. His laughter was genuine. 😂
I miss Robin Williams so much! 🥲
And you can notice the camera shaking cuz the guy was laughing too
He also ad-libbed his final words, "Son of a bitch, he stole my line." Robin was the king of improv.
I’d love to chill on a couch, get high and watch movies with Maple.
I love this reaction. It looks like she has been on the sauce during this, and that's exactly how I would be responding to watching this .
29:43 It's like walking in on your parents arguing about you.
Only movie in my entire life that’s gotten me close to crying. Will is a little TOO relatable.
Your crying got me cryin, and I’ll second that counseling is great and everyone should give it a try.
Love this girl, hope she comes back!
16:45 You can see the camera shake. The camera man was laughing along with them, believe it or not. lol
4:27 **camera pans** that guy's cute, that guy's cute, **sees Asian guy** .... **tumbleweed**
Underrated Robin William's movies, One Hour Photo and Insomnia. I hope y'all add this!
This is the best script ever written. Period.
*"You got that, chief?"*
13:13 imo this is the best monologue I've ever heard in a movie
25:18 I've been in that situation too. He couldn't handle being told that someone loved him. That ended the relationship.
He's dated off and on since then, but now he's a trucker and single. Just on the road all the time avoiding commitment...
I don't watch movies for "the acting" but I'll watch this to watch Robin Williams anytime.
Robin Williams in this movie not only taught me why I can’t live without a women. But why I so badly want to marry one.
Men catch hell too,great reactions 👍✌️
Harvard and MIT are in Boston
They are actually in Cambridge, which is next to Boston.
Moody tumbler board 😂😂
This movie is a masterpiece. If you love love and working through healing things kind of movies, try Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
Not the Nanny Macphee🤣
I've seen this movie a bunch of times, and it still causes such an emotional response. Great Movie, Love Robin WIlliams! it was great seeing your first viewing :D
You missed the “do you like apples?” Part
love the movie and you are just wonderful :)
To love somebody completely need to give up every part of u, accept the possibility that that person can destroy your life with a single word, but not care because your willing to take any risk for even the chance, the possibility, that it works out. Leads to a lot of heartache, but eventually to winning bigger than if u aren’t betting everything
One of the best movies ever, and it’s not up for debate.
Somehow, I feel good that I have no idea what a 'moody tumbler post, vibe' is.
I love you Maple hahaha
Boston, South/Southy Boston to be exact.
This movie killed me. Matt Damon's character so much mirrors myself except with the girl and jailtime. I grew up in an abusive home and was in foster at 12 years old. I couldn't tell you how many homes I was in because I didn't care to count. But I'm pretty sure it was over a dozen. Don't get me wrong the families were great but I never felt at home anywhere. Here I am 30 years later and still lost. I always afraid to open up because I'm afraid of what someone would think. To make matters worse 3 years ago the girl I'd been with since high school cheated on me and took off to be with them. One of my earlier therapists told me I should write a book about my life but I'm afraid of opening that can of worms again.
Maple... "It's not your fault."
Seriously one of the best movies of all time. It's so real.
My favorite movie of all time !!
Someone needs to suggest "what dreams may come" she'll cry for days
Fun fact: the "he stole my line" was unscripted 😁
everyone should watch this once a month to get down to earth
